Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council buys biannual inspection and servicing of oil-fired boiler systems across 42 council buildings, together with emergency breakdown cover to reduce equipment downtime. The work covers boilers, pumps, pipelines and storage tanks, supporting the buildings’ hot-water facilities. It is a specialist building-heating maintenance and repair service (CPV 50531100). The council’s requirement is for servicing and repairs at its properties in the Newry, Mourne and Down district. The competition was aimed at contractors registered with OFTEC, the oil-heating industry’s technical and safety body.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ATS Gas Services Limited on 6 October 2026. The award value is £108,000. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2029. The council used an open procedure, with bids due by 2 September 2026. The requirement covers servicing and repair of the oil-fired central-heating systems and emergency breakdown cover across the council’s 42 buildings. The award information identifies one supplier and does not divide the work into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part. The stated tender requirement was for OFTEC-registered contractors; the published procurement information does not give further evaluation weightings or detailed selection thresholds.

This award confirms demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for a single contractor able to maintain oil-fired heating systems across a multi-building estate and respond to emergency failures. A credible competitor would need OFTEC registration, practical capability to inspect and service complete boiler installations—including pumps, pipework and storage tanks—and the resources to provide dependable breakdown response as well as planned visits. The work suits a specialist oil-heating maintenance business with sufficient coverage and operational capacity to support 42 properties while limiting heating and hot-water downtime. The open competition and SME suitability indicate that smaller firms were within the intended supplier market, provided they could demonstrate the required registration and deliver the service across the council’s estate.
